"I've seen a copy. It is wonderfully written and the illustrations are precious. It is a useful tool to help explain hurricanes and their aftermath to small children." Cathy Gilbert, Managing Editor, The Manning Times "Thanks to Jake and Friends my five-year-old grandson has a new understanding of hurricanes, and our family has a safety plan. This book is a great way to teach children about hurricanes in a non-threatening way that is entertaining and easy to understand. I look forward to Jake, Pepper and Blitz having many more adventures!" Tim McMillan, PhD, professor, Armstrong Atlantic University, Savannah, Georgia "...this wonderful piece by Ken and Liz Aucoin beautifully describes how friendship can overcome severe adversity, like Katrina.
